Lather comparison surprise

Shaving setup: A boar shaving brush with a long loft and wooden handle next to a tub of soap that has a blue label with the face of a bison rendered as a network of white lines, labeled "Declaration Grooming" and "After The Rain." That is next to a dark brown or black bottle of aftershave whose tan label has a skull in profile. In front is a stainless steel double-edge razor lying on its side.

I wanted to compare the lather from Declaration Grooming’s Milksteak formula (today) with their Bison formula (yesterday). I thus used the same brush, my Omega 20102 boar brush.

To my surprise, this morning it seemed that yesterday’s lather was better. This is so unexpected that I will be repeating the experiment down the line. Both lathers were quite good, but yesterday’s had a better consistency. Of course, it may be that today I simply used a bit too much water, or perhaps loaded the bruh not quite long enough. Future experiments will elucidate.

The RazoRack Mamba, here in stainless steel, is a fine little razor, and it did a terrific job. The aftershave, Southern Witchcrafts’ Valley of Ashes, is another aftershave that requires no skincare assistance, andmy skin feels remarkably smooth and pampered.

The tea this morning is Murchie’s No. 10 Blend: “

John Murchie’s unconventional tea blending ideas resulted in one of Murchie’s most famous blends, one that has been a best seller for decades. Murchie’s No. 10 Blend is a mild, sweet combination of Gunpowder and Jasmine greens and Keemun and Ceylon black teas, perfect for any time of day.”
